wouldn't work; there would be some other end around, or way for them to influence.....you're missing the point. a corporation is a SINGLE entity with more wealth and power than any other SINGLE person; yet has their same rights.
the concept of democracy breaks down when those who are controlled are not equal. and a corporation is exponentially more influencial than any other constituent there is; hell, combined
what is a dictatorship? a SINGLE entity with so much power and resources they can dictate anything within the confines of their region. a corporation could quite easily become a dictatorship.
that much power in the hands of a few is how we become ruled in totality
